Business Report
Compared with 2021, 2022 continued to be affected by the severe special infectious pneumonia caused by COVID-19 and meanwhile, due to the long lead times of raw materials and political and geographic conflicts, the overall manufacturing industry was impacted. Bright Led Electronics Corp. must still be vigilant and careful. Moreover, due to exchange rate fluctuations, some proportion of gross profit had been slightly influenced. In order to fight against unfavorable situations related to these impacts, Bright LED electronics corp., which has actively adjusted the company's fundamentals and operated under lean management over the past few years, remained profitable this year. Due to the company policies of ongoing cost reduction and sales increase in proportion of high value-added products and intelligence manufacturing plan, we are hoping that in the future, we can remain profita-
ble in this fickle, unpredictable situation. In year of 2022, the company's overall sales revenue was slightly decreased but the company still remains profitable. In the future, the company will continuously work hard on developing various products applicable in various industries, increasing product’s added values, expanding markets or business opportunities with cross-industry alliance, and providing customers with more one-stop services and customized products.
2022 Result
In 2021, our consolidated revenue totaled NT$1,508,924 thousand dollars, decrease of 2 percent over NT$1,532,086 thousand dollars in 2021. Consolidated net income totaled NT$195,377 thousand dollars, an decrease of 23 percent over NT$252,796 thousand dollars in 2021. Net income attributed to the parent company totaled NT$200,380 thousand dollars, a decrease of 20 percent over NT$249,233 thousand dollars in 2021.

Technological Developments
In 2022, we continued to work on LED projects with special specifications, multiple chips and multiple wavelengths, which are mainly used in medical, automotive and aerospace fields. In addition, the results of the previous phased development of the photo relay are on schedule and continuing with
6
the current project. Compared with mechanical relays, photo relays have longer life span, low current drive and fast response. They are one of the indispensable components in the field of intelligence manufacturing and mechanical manufacturing.
The relevant specifications and samples of UVC LED components used in the fields of environmental sterilization and health care have been launched. We continue to optimize product quality and manufacturing process to meet the customization and differentiation. The miniaturization of UVC LED components brings many applications advantages and can be used in conjunction with multiple types of application products. In addition, UVC LED also has many advantages itself such as fast start-up, more switching frequency, and battery-powered availability. In view of the severe and special infectious pneumonia raging due to COVID-19 in early 2020, the company expects to accelerate the schedule this year to promote the popularization of UVC products in the future.
Not just research and development related to products, Bright LED Electronics Corp. has also been optimizing the process and manufacturing in recent years. For instance, improving machinery and equipment to achieve more efficient manufacture, increasing the proportion of automation to reduce direct manpower, and etc. At present, relevant improvement projects and manufacturing projects have initially completed phased development, and follow-up benefits and experimental tests will be carried out continuously.
Finally, with regard to smart city concept, due to the popularity of street lamps in Taiwan, besides lighting, there are many additional applications can be attached. Smart street lighting are mainly designed and installed with controllers, sensors and other components so that the street lighting can have more functional services attached, at the same time reducing the original costs of building a base for these functions. For example, with wireless transmission attached, when the lamp fails, the controller can directly detect and report to the control center and call for maintenance. Various types of environmental monitoring can be attached using multiple sensors, which to detect harmful gases, noise, PM2.5, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and etc., to report back to the control center and to alert the public. The lamp itself can also use the lighting sensors to detect ambient lights periodically and automatically adjust lamp’s brightness to meet comfort for vision without wasting power. In addition to the above intelligent functions, street lighting may support connections between 4G/5G transmitters as miniature base stations in the future or can possibly support and cooperate with other fields like vehicle charging, and etc. The follow-up project plans are in progress.
Summary, corporate development, and outlook affected by external competition, regulatory environment and overall operation strategy
Looking forward to business plan of 2023, in addition to the existing mass-produced application products’ qualities and functions, including smart home applications, security and surveillance control, aviation and transportation electronic applications, computer-related applications, sensing applications, lighting applications, and etc., which will continue to be upgraded, Bright LED Electronics also urges to provide customers with new solutions to meet the needs of customization and differentiation, and to increase the added value of products and to continuously accelerate the progress of cases with special
3
specifications in order to expand more special markets. Since January, 2023, the severe special infectious pneumonia of COVID-19 has been slowing down. However, political and geopolitical conflicts exacerbated. It is expected that the overall world economy will still remain uncertain in 2023, and the general environment will be intensified by the impact of inflation. The company's performance at the beginning of 2023 has decreased slightly compared to last year due to holidays and above factors. The company will continue to strengthen risk control, improve internal management and strengthen the company's response ability. In view of external factors such as health environment and unpredictable risks of international policies, the company's business model continues to move towards lean management, while implementing intelligent manufacturing and accelerating the improvement of production processes and operating models to diversify risks and accelerate the company's response and adaptation capability which we believe will lead Bright LED Electronics corp. to sustainably develop and survive in this turbulent and uncertain generation.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; if such disclosures are inadequate, we are responsible to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Mr. Yu-Feng Hsu and Ms. Tzu-Hui Li.

The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.
Article 10. When a shareholder present at the Meeting wishes to speak, a Speech Note should be filled out with summary of the speech, the shareholder's number (or the number of Attendance Card) and the name of the shareholder. The sequence of speeches by shareholders should be decided by the chairman. If any shareholder present at the Meeting submits a Speech Note but does not speak, no speech should be deemed to have been made by such shareholder. In case the contents of the speech of a shareholder are inconsistent with the contents of the Speech Note, the contents of actual speech shall prevail. Unless otherwise permitted by the chairman, each shareholder shall not, for each discussion item, speak more than two times (each time not exceeding 5 minutes). In case the speech of any shareholder violates the above provision or exceeds the scope of the discussion item, the chairman may stop the speech of such shareholder. Unless otherwise permitted by the chairman and the shareholder in speaking, no shareholder shall interrupt the speeches of the other shareholders; otherwise, the chairman shall stop such interruption. If a corporate shareholder designates two or more representatives to attend the Meeting, only one representative can speak for each discussion item. After the speech of a shareholder, the chairman may respond himself/herself or appoint an appropriate person to respond.
Article 11. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.
4
With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 12. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed to reject, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the num-
